Right after the Superbowl, Mr. Big Flavors and I decided that our next kitchen purchase needed to be a pizza stone. We made three pizzas on three baking sheets for the Big Game, and the resulting crusts each had a different texture – too crunchy, too crispy, or too flat. Just too inconsistent, really. It was [...]
We have this awesome Thai restaurant right in our neighborhood called Taste of Thai. It’s somewhat of a hole in the wall with seemingly traditional Thai artwork hanging on the dark maroon walls. When it comes to ethnic foods, this is my favorite kind of place. It’s that kind of place that [...]
The egg-stravagnza is continuing, and just in time for your weekend! Of course, when you think of eggs, you think breakfast. They’re filling enough to eat as a meal, and also pair well with plenty of different ingredients and flavors. That’s why I turn to omelets for breakfast (well, actually for lunch [...]
The Big Flavors are not big meal planners. I mean we do have ideas around what we want to eat for dinner during the week, but we don’t list it out by each day and then plan our shopping trip around the list. We probably should do this, and I’m actually a bit surprised [...]
I think it’s time to declare February as Bean Month, at least in the LKBF kitchen. Don’t worry, I already confirmed that there is no conflict with an actual National Bean celebration. The closest holiday is National Baked Bean month, and that’s all the way in July. For some reason, we’ve been on a bean [...]

In the Big Flavors house, a healthy meal will always contain some type of protein. It’s hard to get Mr. Big Flavors to [...]
Tis the season for a big-ol’ hearty bowl of chili. But for some reason, I’m just not a huge fan of the traditional tomato-based, ground beef and big red kidney bean kind of chili. Maybe it’s because I’ve never found a beefy chili recipe that I’ve really enjoyed. Or maybe it’s because I still have [...]
Whether it be for snacking or an actual meal, I just can’t pass up using the crockpot on football Sundays. Crockpot cooking ensures tasty food and great results with very little work required. This means more time watching the pre-game festivities and less time in the kitchen. Everyone wins! Here are some of my favorite [...]
Lately, I feel like I could eat pizza for dinner every night. And, that’s a good thing because we sure have been eating our fair share of it. With this extensive DIY house renovation taking place, there has been some serious take-out food happening at the LKBF abode. One day I’m writing [...]
Have I mentioned that life in the Big Flavors house is absolutely craaaazy these days? I’ll be honest, recently many dinners in this house have consisted of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or some Chinese food take-out. Hey, it can’t always been homemade three course meals and picture perfect desserts, although that would definitely [...]
